Gary, are you sure that's a real ticket? Where is the bar code? They reprinted the season tickets also. Here's one from Ebay thats real. Has an account number and bar code.

The team-issued reprints have a blank line where "SEASON TICKET" or "PLAN TICKET" appear, and in some cases the club access indicator at the top of the ticket may differ from the original (I've seen one ticket where the original only entitled the holder to Promenade Club access, but the reprint indicated access to Acela, Caesars and Promenade Clubs).

Here's something completely different - a fake ticket to Johan Santana's no-hitter. Not a team-issued reprint, but a digital manipulation.

I created this because I thought it would look cool to see Santana's image on a ticket from his no-hitter. In addition to the picture, I've made other changes - some obvious, some subtle - to ensure this can never be passed off as an actual ticket, or a rare variation. This is just for entertainment value, nothing more. The Johan Santana image and graphics shown here were digitally copied from a real 2012 Mets ticket for a game to be played in the season.

I picked up this 1965 Bob Gibson win ticket the other day for my Black Aces ticket collection. This win on the last day of the season earned Gibson his first of five 20-win seasons. I thought his quote about how much this game meant was pretty interesting.

Some great tickets in this thread. Here is my favorite...

I'm not really a ticket collector , what I am is a lifelong Montreal Expos fan , Today I was at a show in Montreal when I saw a customer trying to sell this full ticket to a dealer , I patiently waited to see if they would strike a deal , when the customer walked away I approached him and we struck a deal , This is the first major league game played outside the United States , and The Expos 1st Home Opener April 14th 1969

I think you're confusing my two posts. Maybe I wasn't as clear as I should have been, but in the case of the Santana no-hitters I was talking about the season tickets being reprinted. I specifically said "The team-issued reprints have a blank line where "SEASON TICKET" or "PLAN TICKET" appear," which wouldn't have been the case if I was not talking about season tickets.

When I post scans of my tickets I digitally delete the account number for privacy purposes. I also delete the bar code, as well as the seat number.

As a Matty fan, I'm really excited to have just picked this up. Three days after Christy Mathewson pitched his last game of the season for the Giants in 1900, his Bucknell football team played Wyoming Seminary.

Thought you guys would like to see this. Just got this off of ebay. Wasn't listed very well. It is Larry Doby's first ever HR.
Came also with an amazing scorecard. That has all kinds of notations and pictures.
Feel free to message me if you ever have any Indians rare feats or debuts.
Thanks
Andy

Not quite the same value as a '47 debut game ticket, but still a cool rookie season example.
